Harry Reid

"The man is a disgrace to democracy," Caddell said. "I want to say this as a Democrat: I think at some point you should stand up for your country as an American." -Pat Caddell on Harry Reid

During the exchange Reid told CNBC's John Harwood that he didn't "really care" about the Republican presidential prospects because, "I think they're all losers."

“I am not basing (the claim Mitt Romney hasn’t paid taxes) on some figment of my imagination. I have had a number of people tell me that. I don’t think the burden should be on me. The burden should be on him. He’s the one I’ve alleged has not paid any taxes.”

"The Asian population is so productive. I don't think you're smarter than anybody else, but you have convinced a lot of us you are," Reid said to the audience at the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino, garnering laughter. Moments later, the senator said, "One problem I've had today is keeping my Wongs straight."

Sen. Harry Reid (D., NV) for a second time Wednesday accused the Koch brothers of funding ads that lie about Obamacare. “I guess if you make that much money, you can make these immoral decisions,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “The Koch brothers are about as un-American as anyone I can imagine.”

Harry Reid owes Mitt Romney an apology. The Romney campaign on Friday released details of the Republican nominee’s 2011 federal tax return, along with a signed letter from his tax advisers attesting to the fact that Romney paid taxes from 1990 to 2009. Their statement flatly contradicts Senate Majority Leader Reid’s unfounded and baseless assertions, made repeatedly over the last several months, that Romney paid no taxes at all for 10 years.

"It's very clear that private-sector jobs have been doing just fine; it's the public-sector jobs where we've lost huge numbers, and that's what this legislation is all about," Reid said on the Senate floor.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had to backpedal and apologize very quickly for a private conversation he had with Barack Obama during Obama's presidential campaign. In the discussion, Reid stated that Obama could be a successful candidate because he is "light skinned" and that he speaks with "no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

“The Founders created a system of checks and balances — three branches of government, for example, and two chambers of the Congress — precisely because they anticipated these passions,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “Long after that system was created, a new independent federal agency was created in the same spirit of checks and balances,” said Reid. “That agency is the National Labor Relations Board, and it acts as a check on employers and employees alike.”

In April of 2007, democrat US senator Harry Reid said, "I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and, you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows, this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday."

Nevertheless, the Senate majority leader invoked the e-word himself last week at an energy conference in Las Vegas, where he accused those protesting President Barack Obama's health-care proposals of being "evil mongers."

The Heartland Institute reports that while the Senate Majority Hypocrite "and other high-profile environmental activists blasted carbon-based fuels at the Reid-sponsored summit, Reid and other bigwigs were caught on film driving to and from the summit in several SUVs."

In the middle of his tirade against House Republicans' "mean-spirited" budget bill on the Senate floor Tuesday, the Senate Majority Leader lamented that the GOP’s proposed budget cuts would eliminate the annual "cowboy poetry festival” in his home state of Nevada.

“H.R. 1 is a mean-spirited bill that would cut the heart out of the recovery that we have in America today,” said Reid. “It goes after little children, poor little boys and girls ... we want them to learn to read.”
